Gottlieb Maternity Shoot

What a great day! I was reminded again today just how much I love what I do! Angie is a friend of mine who is expecting her third little one next month, so I joined her today to do a maternity shoot and also get some shots of her and husband, Doug, as well as their sweet little girls, Grace and Harper. Grace and Harper are twins that couldn't be more different. . .or more fun! They spent the afternoon playing with their horses, dollhouse, and topped it all off with a yummy cupcake -- true little girls! I love it!
Angie is a beautiful Mum that couldn't be more easy-going and relaxed in front of the camera if she tried. She was truly a pleasure to shoot.
A big thanks to Angie's Mum (who came all the way from OK) for watching the girls while we did maternity pictures!
Here's a few maternity shots, stay tuned for more family shots tomorrow!

Davis Family Slideshow

Here's a slideshow from the Davis family shoot. Little Brady loves to dance to reggae - I hope he's jamming to this show! Enjoy!

Ouch! Lil Miss Broke a Nail

Miss Maui had a bit of a rough day yesterday, she broke a nail for the first time - quite painful for a little pup. We were on our way home from snowmobiling in NH when we noticed she had bent her nail back, and lets just say beginning of our trek home was a bit bloody :-( We stopped at a pharmacy, got some gauze and antibiotic cream and continued on our 6 hour trip home. Maui was such a trooper! When we got home, she let us cut off the severed part of the nail and bandage it all up with no more than a little grunt - quite a toughie she is :-)

Here's a couple quick shots of the little monkey and her injured paw

Davis Family/Maternity shoot

This past saturday I joined my neighbors, Liz, Glenn and little Brady for a snowy afternoon inside. Liz is 8 mos. pregnant, so we started the shoot intending for it to be mostly a maternity session, but I couldn't help but turn it into a full family shoot. . .which I love!! Nothing is better than capturing a day in the life of a young family!  Liz and Glen are the sweetest couple and are clearly so in love with their little boy. They are huge Red Sox fans, which is evident by Brady's Red Sox clad nursery, complete with a painting of a jersey with the family's name on it. I can't wait to meet the latest addition! Enjoy!

Isn't Liz beautiful!?!

THE belly heart shot

We started off playing Thomas the train. . .fun!!!

Thanks guys, I had such a fun time - best of luck with the new little one!!!!

Ten Eyck Tuesday!

Yesterday was a good day. Wait, make a that GREAT day. Why? Because I did something I have wanted to do since I got myself into this photography craziness. . . .I was a part of a photography workshop with the great Carla Ten Eyck at the helm. Carla is amazing. . .there is no other way to describe her and the images she captures - pure talent combined with a kickin' personality. .  .          need I say more? Carla began offering the Ten Eyck Tuesday workshop back in October and in the past has used locations in and around Hartford to shoot (like a footpath going over the highway!?!) but this time we stayed in her beautiful victorian house and had the privilege of shooting the lovely Jackie Greenberg of JAG studios. Jackie is super photogenic and has so much spunk and style, not to mention she is ridiculously comfortable in front of the camera, which made our job so easy!! The possibilities were endless as far as spots in Carla's house to shoot, believe it or not we actually spend most of the day in her sunshine-filled upstairs hallway. Just goes to show you really can shoot any where and come up with some interesting stuff.

Thanks again to Carla, Jackie,  Melissa, Jessica, and Maura - what a great group! Hope to see ya'll soon!
